On 19 April 2023, after 3 days, 21 hours, 46 minutes and 47 seconds at sea and having sailed a total of 603 nautical miles, the Class40 ACI of Croatian and Olympic ski champion Ivica Kostelic, assisted by his co-skipper Darko Prižmić, crossed the finish line in Riva di Traiano, winning the Roma Line Honours per 2, as well as the Class40 victory.
Ivica expressed great satisfaction at his arrival, motivated by the fact that he led the race from start to finish. He mentioned the "bad conditions at the start and the first night of the race" but also the difficulty of the climb back to Riva with light breezes that hampered the boat's progress, which was very successful in strong winds.
Blue Planet (GER 46), sailed by Christian Kerl and Luis Brito, took second place ahead of Sotraplant/TRS (FRA 157) sailed by Matthieu Foulquier-Gazagnes and Xavier Broers.
